I’m running Hassio on Rpi3B+ and my Conbee II is on it’s way. I got 2 questions_
1- Should Conbee II placed in a central location where it’s visible to most of my Hue lamps, or is it ok for it to see just 1 active hue lamp to control the rest of the zigbee mesh involving Hue and Aqara sensors.
2- Can i run Conbee II on a 2nd Rpi in a central location in my home? How can i setup 2nd Rpi to work with my main hassio in peace?
2 weeks old HA freshman here, any help will be much appreciated 
Cheers
I have my hassio instance running on a Pi 3 with a conbee stick on a small extension cable. It’s located in the far corner of the house, and works very well for he whole house (there’s sensors and lamps everywhere). I don’t really know why you would want to have the conbee on a separate Pi in a central location…it will just be more maintenance and more hassle, with little or no benefit I think
Ah so i guess it works like i assumed in my first question. Thanks, i’ll give it a go before going for second RPi.
